What comes to mind when you think of "post-secondary transition?" Most common responses: #Independence, Hard, Realistic. #CEC2024

[Mike Ubbens @MikeUbbens]

On behaviors…A good reminder. Crises happen. We cannot teach anyone (child or adult) anything from that moment until they de-escalate. #CEC2024 #BehaviorManagement #SpecialEducation
